Mary, Queen of Shops

Having successfully turned around the fortunes of Britain's independent fashion stores in Series 1 and 2, in this new series Mary broadens her focus and turns her attention to saving the key shops on the high street.  The local shop, the greengrocer, the baker are all facing extinction through competition from supermarket chains, and they the local communities that love them, need Mary's help.

First off, Mary needs to find out where they're going wrong, so she casts her steely gaze over everything from the feel of the carrier bags to the look of the staff.  Mary delivers her verdict and, after a frank talk with the owners, sets to work, revealing to the owner and staff why their poor choices are slowly ruining their business.  Having identified the problems, Mary will start turning the shop around - stock, decor and layout will be revamped before a glamorous and memorable re-launch.  One month later, Mary pays a return visit to see whether they have stuck to her rules.  Will the place be buzzing with customers? Or flies?  Will the stock be flying off the shelves? Or the shelves falling off the walls?

Building on the huge success of the first two series, the third series of Mary Queen of Shops is even more of an emotional rollercoaster, as Mary teaches us how the best can survive even the most turbulent of times.
